Smiling when you're dying inside is a rite of passage for all of us at some point in your life. Of course, it's fine that your friend has just asked you if you mind them dating your ex. No, you don't mind that you've been passed over for promotion yet again for someone who's obviously less qualified for the job than you are. Just smile and accept it, even if your eyes are telling a totally different story. You (unsuccessfully) try to hide the pain, just like Hide the Pain Harold.
Nobody knows for sure what emotion Hungarian man Andras Arato was trying to convey when the famous picture was taken; as far as he was concerned, he was just posing for a few stock photos. He's enjoyed all the attention that's come to him late in life though; you'll find that he's very active on social media, taking new pictures for people to turn into memes. Hide the Pain Harold is now available in hundreds of different poses!
